Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield，Massachusetts in 1904.He was
famous because of the books he wrote for children.They combine funny words，
pictures，and social opinions.
Dr.Seuss wrote his first book for children in 1937.It is called And to Think That I
Saw It on Mulberry Street.A number of publishers refused to publish it.They said it
was too different.A friend finally published it.Soon other successful books
followed.Over the years，he wrote more than forty children's books.They were fun
to read.Yet his books sometimes dealt with serious subjects.
By the middle 1940s，Dr.Seuss had become one of the
best­loved and most successful writers of children's books.He had
a strong desire to help children.In 1954，Life magazine published
a report about school children who could not read.The report said
many children's book weren't interesting.Dr.Seuss decided to
write books that were interesting and easy to read.
In 1957，Dr.Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat.He used less than 225 words to
write the book.This was about the number of words a six­year­old should be able to
read.
The story is about a cat who tries to entertain two children on a rainy day while
their mother is away from home.The cat is not like normal cats.It talks.The book was
an immediate success.It was an interesting story and was easy to read.Children loved
it.Their parents loved it，too.Today many adults say it is still one of the stories they

B
We do not usually think about how our language works.Talking is such a
natural，everyday activity that we do not often stop to think how it actually
works.When we do study our language，though，we are often surprised that we are
able to understand our conversations.Words can mean so many different
things.However，it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making
中国现代教育网 www.30edu.com 全国最大教师交流平台
language work.
First，the speaking situation helps make words more particular.For example，
the word“dog”can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream.It can also be used
to discuss a neighbor's dog.No language has a separate word for the idea“dog that I
saw yesterday”and another word for the idea“dog that I saw in a dream”．This is
because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use
words.So，when you have a conversation with your neighbor，the knowledge that
you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word“dog” probably means in that
situation.
The speaking situation also helps make language clearer.For example，the word
“bank” has two possible meanings.It can mean“a place where people keep
money”，but it can also mean“the side of a river”．So the sentence“I went to
the bank”is not clear.It could mean I went to the side of the river or it could mean I
went to the place where my money is kept.However，if the speaker is talking about
fishing or going to the mountains，others probably know that“bank”means“the
side of a river”．
The things that speakers say may not always be clear.Sometimes the words are
not very particular，but the speaking situation can provide the meaning.Other times
words may have many meanings.Then the speaking situation limits(限制)the right
meaning.This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand
language.
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了语境对语言的理解起着很大的作用。
【长难句解读】 So，when you have a conversation with your neighbor，the
knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word“dog”probably
means in that situation.
【分析】 这是一个含有多个从句的复合句，主句部分为“the knowledge
tells your neighbor what the word‘dog’probably means in that situation”。
when 引导时间状语从句；that 引导同位语从句，解释说明 knowledge 的内容；
what 引导宾语从句作 tells 的宾语。
【译文】 因此，当你和你的邻居谈话的时候，知道你有狗这件事告诉了

你的邻居在那样的情形下 dog 一词有可能指什么意思。
5．The passage is mainly about ．
A．the best time and place to talk to others
B．how the speaking situation helps language work
C．what to say in difficult situations
D．how our language works
B [主旨大意题。综合全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了语境怎样对语言的
理解起着很大的作用。故选 B。]
6．What does the word“bank”mean if a speaker is talking about money?
A．The side of a river with many people fishing.
B．A supermarket to buy all kinds of goods.
C．A mountain for hunting.
D．A place where money is kept.
D [词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“It can mean‘a place where people keep
money’”可知，当人们提到钱这一具体语境时，bank 表示“银行”。]
7．By using the example of the word“dog”，the author wants to show that
．
A．a word may need to be explained in a conversation
B．a word may have different meanings
C．the speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a
word
D．the meaning of words is not particular
C [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“First，the speaking situation helps make
words more particular.For example...”可知，下文正是用 dog 一词举例来论证第
二段第一句话，故选项 C 正确。]
8．Where can we find this passage?
A．A piece of news.
B．A science novel.
C．A fashion magazine.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
When I was 16 years old，a boy gave me an important gift. 1
It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school，and my old
school was far away. 2 I was very lonely，and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I listened to other students talking and laughing，I felt my heart
broken.I couldn't talk with anyone about my problems.And I didn't want my parents
to worry about me.
Then one day，my classmates talked happily with their friends，but I sat at my
desk unhappily as usual. 3 I didn't know who he was.He passed me and then
turned back.He looked at me，with a smile on his face.
Suddenly，I felt the touch of something bright and friendly.It made me feel
happy，lively and warm.
4 I started to talk with other students and made friends.Day by day，I
became closer to everyone in my class.The boy with the lucky smile has become my
best friend now!
5 I believe that the world is what you think it is.If you think it lonely，you
might always be alone.So smile at the world and it will smile back.
A．At that moment，a boy entered the classroom.

C．It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone.
